Interventions

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulationdevice

Transcranial magnetic stimulation uses a rapidly changing magnetic field to induce current in brain tissue non-invasively. It is common procedure in both clinical and research settings, and it has well established guidelines for safe an ethical use which maximize safety for all subjects.
